Will I be able to get admission in a top college in USA?

Yes, This is not a required criteria. But, it is definitely good to have a work experience. It shows maturity, skill, thought process, research mindset, amongst others. Needless to say, relevant work experience is better than irrelevant. But, some is better than none. Just work on remaining constraints. Let’s take a look at where each piece of the puzzle fits in. I will break it down into 2 categories: Quantitative: Aspects of your application that has numbers; that can be measured like your grades, GRE and TOEFL scores.Grades: The higher, the better. But, it is not the end of the world, if you don't have a CGPA above 7.0 or 8.0. Why? Because of the other aspects of your application. GRE Again, the higher, the better. Beyond a certain score (330+), it doesn't really matter much; your amongst the best students. Now the other qualitative aspects of your application come into play. Below the universities minimum score, your application moves to the Stand-by pile. TOEFL: Most international universities require it if your first language is not English. Some universities/graduation programs use a high verbal GRE verbal score as a substitute; do your research before taking the TOEFL. Meet the minimum criteria listed on their website and you'll be good. SOP: Some professors say this doesn't matter as much. Some professors read through them briefly, while some others place a greater emphasis on SOP.

For an MBA in USA or for that matter anywhere (outside India), a minimum of 5 years of work experience is required. On top of that, a good GMAT score is necessary.
